YES! Matt from the browser team at RIM is back for some more BlackBerry 10 browser action.

If you are on team BlackBerry you are probably jealous of your Android and iOS friends posting photos to their social networking sites via Instagram.

Posted by Adam Zeis on 24 May 2012 11:16 am
Amir and Streeter are back with another myth-busting video for the BBM Challenge Council. This time the two tackle the myth that the BlackBerry browser is slow.
